ugh, i know. though i actually... thought this fandom could be really cathartic for me? though it's a completely different situation and i don't want to make light of what these guys have been through at all, the sense of 'this is more loss than i've ever felt' and 'this is more pain than i've ever felt', and the trouble readjusting to civilian life, and feeling like you're in a whole 'nother world from regular people and can never really relate your experience to them, it hits very, very close to home with my own experience w/ the severe chronic illnesses, and feeling like i'm in my own personal little war. WHICH MAKES IT DOUBLY HARD TO WRITE BECAUSE I HAVE TO REACH DOWN TO WHERE IT'S DEEP AND PAINFUL AND BLEED THAT ALL OVER THE PAGE, but i think it also adds a touch of realism that perhaps i wouldn't be able to have, otherwise ( ... )

aaaaa kay <3

I HAD TO READ THIS LIKE. TWICE. BEFORE I WAS COHERENT ENOUGH TO LEAVE YOU A MESSAGE. this was so beautifully written. the transition of everything rushing back to sledge and the parallel of the hospital room and okinawa, the words overlaying each other--that was absolutely perfectly done and it made me clench my hands. and the end--i love the muted tone of the very last line. argh.

the room blooming into a haze of smoke and ruined wood

the entire paragraph that this line is from, i just keep rereading it akjsdafd

this is amazing, you're amazing <33333

FIRST, I HAVE TO RESTATE THAT I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THE TIME TO COMMENT ON THE PIECES. commenting takes some time and energy, so, ♥

and second, askjk i actually really like this piece. it hurts so bad, and lingered in my head for hours and hours after writing it, but. it feels very true to the horror of the after effects of the situation? ahh, thank you for commenting <33
